New York, USA , 12 September 2020 | Tennis Australia

Dylan Alcott continued his winning run in 2020, overcoming world No.2 Andy Lapthorne in his second match at the 2020 US Open.

The 6-1 7-6(4) progression marked a 12th straight match win for the world No.1 Australian, who overcame Sam Schroder in his first match in New York.

Earlier this year, Alcott claimed a sixth Australian Open quad wheelchair singles title, and his 10th Grand Slam singles title in total.

Alcott took an hour and 19 minutes to secure victory over the Brit, one of his most prolific rivals.

In his final round-robin match, Alcott will meet American David Wagner.

Alcott, who campaigned strongly for wheelchair events to be staged at the 2020 US Open, is vying for a third singles title at Flushing Meadows.
